This week we’re talking about professional wrestling, essays with unusual structures, troubled father-son relationships, and what it’s like to be one of the only non-white kids at your school. Plus: it’s still November, which means we’re digging into the NaNoWriMo forums to answer some of the internet’s weirdest questions about writing a novel.
Our reading for the week was Todd Kaneko’s essay “Babyfaces,” originally published in a pop-culture anthology by Barrelhouse Magazine.
